I have the M50 therefore this would require the adapter it comes with plus the ef to m adapter. Would this work?
Asked by: Floyd
Yes, this comes with the EF adapter, thus you'd just need the EF to EF-M adapter to get it on to your Canon EOS M50.

Has anyone used this lens on a 90D or another camera that doesn't have focus peaking or vibration control? If so, were you able to get reasonably sharp photos without camera shake being an issue?
Asked by: Dale
It's definitely going to be a bit more difficult focusing with a 90D or DSLR that doesn't have stabilization or focus peaking. I would recommend using a tripod and a shutter remote to maximize stability. Even with focus peaking and stabilization, the lens still requires critical focusing.

Can the focal length of this lens be increased with a teleconverter?
Asked by: Paul
This may be used with teleconverters that have no optical tube in their design, but not traditional teleconverters (such as Nikon's own 1.4x and 2.0x) that have them.

Is this apse or full frame? Listing says both.

Is this apse or full frame? Listing says both.
Asked by: Grant
Since it’s a T-mount lens, it will cover the full 35mm frame. But with the proper choice of adapter it will cover any of the (common) smaller sensors such as micro-4/3 and APS-C
